It's unyeildding heirophant (or uneven elephant) and it means unrelenting something. I think they mention the meaning.

The Unyielding Hierophant was a Covenant refit-battle station that was capable of supporting a fleet of over 450 capital ships. It was capable of slipspace jumps, and was over 10 kilometers in circumference. Scans show this type of vessel to have at least 2 fusion reactor cores for power. It even has huge "rooms" that are built with foliage and animals to simulate the Covenant's worlds to make their occupants feel more at home, rather than on a huge station. These areas even have temples for their religious sessions.

The Unyielding Hierophant was destroyed by Spartan-117 and his team on the First Strike mission. The resulting explosion destroyed all but 12 of the 500 original ships that were nearby.

Unyielding means it will never surrender, never back down, and never give mercy.

A hierophant is basically a priest. Specifically a priest that explains or promotes a mysterious or obscure religious belief.

Type in "hierophant" on Google Images. The first thing you get looks sort of like a Prophet. Hmm . . .
